Minarchism OBLITERATED

In my previous post, I said that I would work on a refutation of the totalitarian doctrine called "minarchism." No need! John Hasna's The Obviousness of Anarchy has to be the single greatest assault on minarchy ever seen. This guy addresses and utterly shreds all of the very best arguments minarchists have ever come up with.

Cork, have you read Roy Childs's Objectivism and the State: An Open Letter to Ayn Rand? It converted me from minarchist to anarchist in my senior year of college. It is beautiful. Obviously it is directed at Objectivist minarchism and not all minarchism, but, I mean, the Objectivist arguments for minarchism are about the same as any other (or better), so the arguments for and against minarchism (at least the ones Childs addressed) would have been the same.

Thank you for posting the link to John Hasna's piece. I'm going to read it soon.
